Final Thoughts: How To Shuffle These DTs?

FRISCO, Texas – Something is going to have to give this week.

Through five weeks this season, we know the Cowboys play better at home than on the road. We also know that this Jacksonville defense is the best they have faced all year, given that the Jaguars currently rank No. 1 in the NFL.

So what’s going to hold true: the Cowboys’ improved performances in AT&T Stadium, or their offense’s struggles to move the ball in score points? It’s going to be fascinating to find out.

Given that this is a cross-conference game, it’s been a while since we’ve seen the Jaguars at AT&T Stadium. The Jacksonville team that beat Dallas, 35-17, in 2010 had David Garrard at quarterback and Maurice Jones-Drew in the backfield.

The defensive line rotation at tackle will be interesting this week. I’m getting the feeling that Malik Collins is ready to go at the under-tackle spot behind Tyrone Crawford. David Irving is also getting work inside, but a decision will need to be made on his status for the game. Against the Texans, I thought Antwaun Woods, Tyrone Crawford, Daniel Ross and Caraun Reid were outstanding. As much as we all want to believe they’ll be putting Irving in the game, he just might not be ready to give you as much as the combination of Crawford and Collins. I believe Irving missing practice on Wednesday hurt him for this week.

For as long as I can remember people in here have complained about how the Cowboy DT's suck.

The DT's this year are actually playing very well (ross, woods). Safety play has been atrocious as well as some corner play.
